Séamus Ennis

And what is there to say about Paddy Keenan's piping? Absolutely unimpeachable.

The liner notes on this LP were written by Seamus Ennis, and he says on the back, Nature will break through the eyes of the cat, they say, and I recognise the music of Johnny Doran clearly in the piping of this record.

John need not have told me, for I myself spent nights in the caravan of the same Doran, comfortable and cosy, drinking, playing, tea and carding, pipering, and exchanging tunes.

Tea and carding, pipering.

two great influences of mine.

And I think we can all agree that Carl has done a great job of developing that fiddle and voice combo with that track, The Winding River Row.

He goes on to say that although it's common in other folk genres like Appalachian music, singing and simultaneously fiddle accompaniment remains somewhat unusual in the context of traditional music, but he does make reference to Cormac McDiarmidda, Who you might have heard of before and likewise Seamus Ennis singing over the Ilan Pipe drones.

But there you go.

They're launching soon, so we'll be hearing all about that.

Uh, Rebecca King will be on, who is the marketing and communication manager for the Seamus Ennis Arts Center, uh, and will be talking all about, uh, events and stuff that are going on in October, which is gonna be great to hear about.

And, uh, we finish off the show with a musical guest.

I love a musical guest.

We'll have Andrea Ryan, uh, who's the CEO of Get Nine X, uh, the Business Owners Guild.

Uh, speaking to us about the Business Owners Guild at half past ten.

Um, then at around about ten to eleven or so, we'll have Rebecca King, who is the marketing and communications manager Uh, from the Seamus Ennis Arts Centre, who'll be coming on speaking to us about, uh, traditional music and cultural performances taking place all throughout October.

Um, and then Michael McGovern will be coming on to the program as well, uh, speaking about his upcoming Irish and UK tour, uh, and the story behind his song, Evelyn.

And then there's three others from this list, which I suppose come showing your love of Irish music.

Horslips the Tain, Planxty the Well, or sorry, The Well Below the Valley and Seamus Ennis, The Wandering Minstrel.

Yeah, I suppose there's loads of...

To be honest, there's countless Irish albums that I listen to.

I was just trying to throw in a selection of different stuff that I like.

But with regards to Seamus Ennis, I think what's...

It was actually my top listened album last year, I think, that Wanderer in Midst album.

But what's good about him is like...
